Big L
Please, expound.
ahh...its hard to record more music when youre dead.....At the end of the day I just feel like Big L's technical rapping ability is greater than his collective music as a whole.
I used to see dudes saying L was undisputed Top 5 ever here all the time. But I can think of a good 15-20 albums from 95/96 that I feel are better bodies of music than Lifestylez.
So yea, as an artist, I think L is overrated. I've felt that way for a decade. *shrugs*
Generally speaking I think we do champion a select few from past eras while others equally deserving of being remembered have seemingly been forgotten entirely.
most of em are overrated... folks like nostalgia more than they like music
dammn i fully agree. well put!You're absolutely right. And that's because there used to be standards in music...hip hop especially. You weren't respected unless you were nice. Whoever was the nicest generally had it on lock.
Today, it has nothing to do with that, and we accept some truly weak and mediocre material.
All I'm sayin is... if a N' can't ball, can he play in the NBA? If you don't have skills, can you play in the NFL?
I don't think so. Same rules should apply to hip hop...
You're basically implying that most, if not all, old school hip hop is not good music.
That's beyond idiotic.
Not at all. Folks act like newer rappers can't be better than the **** they grew up on. Someone being overrated doesn't make them wack. It just means they have overzealous fans.
Where did "folks act" like that? Stop trying to rationalize your obviously inflammatory statement.
Your claim is that folks like the "nostalgia" better than the music.
False. And foolish.
Carry on.
yeah people who say Pac is overrated because his lyrics were simple are missin his whole appeal. he brought passion, feeling, and emotion to evrything and he was much more of a poet...still GOAT in my eyesTupac's rhyme style was simple but his lyrical content, beat choices (it's well documented that Pac produced a lot of his own music and gave other dude's the credit), sex appeal for the ladies, work ethic, and intelligence is what made him stand out. People love controversy and the bad boy image as well. Say what you want but Pac made great music and his material doesn't sound dated like a lot of old school artist.
I still don't see how people categorize Biggie as one of the greatest after only two albums. Would have loved to see how his work would have been after say about 4 albums. Just my opinion though.
yep, the 90s was 20 years ago man.2Pac and Big L are considered old school now? Man, I'm getting old
No you haventJay-z I don't see it ..... Clearly we all herd wayyy better rappers
agreedNowadays the underrated rappers are the only good ones for the most part. The only way to blow up is to talk about the same **** everyone else is saying. Minus Kendrick, J cole, and maybe a few others who stayed true to what they've always talked about. Back then it took talent and good lyrics combined with song making ability to get big.
